Speech Synthesis Based on the Composed Syllable Segments
نویسنده
چکیده
The idea of the composed syllable segments for syllable based concatenative speech synthesis is described in the paper. The use of the composed syllable segments essentially reduces the number of elementary segments that have to be extracted from samples to create the speech segment database. The experiments show that the quality of the synthesized speech that is obtained by using composed syllable segments is very good even in comparison to the speech synthesis that uses the full syllable segment database. Prosodic segments structure of the implementation is also briefly mentioned in the paper.

This paper describes the design and evaluation of prosodically-sensitive concatenative units for a Persian text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. Thesyllables used are prosodically conditioned in the sense that a single conventional syllable is stored as different versions taken directly from the different prosodic domains of the prosodically labeled, read sentences. The three levels of the Per...
متن کاملProsody Modelling for Syllable-based Speech Synthesis
Prosody model used in the syllable based speech synthesizer DEMOSTHENES is described in the paper. The paper focuses on the segmental structure, especially on the segmentation into rhythm units (prosodic phrases). Relations between prosodic segments and sentence constituents are also discussed.

This paper describes our recent investigation on the use of both intra-syllable and cross-syllable acoustic units for Cantonese text-to-speech synthesis. In our previous work, isolated monosyllable units were used for concatenative speech synthesis of Cantonese. The synthetic speech was considered to be unnatural in such a way that there was an obvious lack of perceptual continuity. The propose...

This paper presents methods for automatic speech signal segmentation using neural network. Speech signal segmentation is carried out to form syllables. Syllable is a common unit for concatenative TTS systems. Concatenative TTS being using speech segments of recorded speech is natural as compare to Formant or Articulatory TTS systems. This TTS stores small segments of speech and join them togeth...
متن کاملDatabases of Heterogeneous Segments for Concatenative Speech Synthesis
Heterogeneous segments can enhance the quality of concatenative speech synthesis especially for highly inflected languages. In this paper we present a brief analysis of the segment types on a general level and discuss the problems related to optimising databases of heterogeneous segments. We present a brief discussion of the algorithmical complexity for the proposed approach and offer some heur...
